Easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Chicken lettuce wraps always sound tasty but they’re kind of a pain in the ass to make. Right? Wrong. Big emphasis on gourmet the lazy way with this recipe. A little presentation goes a long ways. Just look at the picture. It looks great and you can serve it a party for friends or make it for yourself and post it to Instagram. Either way, it looks fancier than it really is. Don’t let me downplaying the complexity of the dish mask how good it is. Trust me, it’s bomb.

Asiago Chicken
When I hear Asiago chicken, I think sandwich. Yes, I’ve eaten at Wendy’s. I’m not proud of it. Please don’t hold that against me. Asiago cheese is pretty distinctive. It’s one of those flavors that can pretty easily take over a dish, but when used correctly… So. Freaking. Good.
Are They Healthy?
Put simply? Yes, they are pretty healthy. I don’t include actual calorie counts and detailed nutritional information because I’m a simple home chef. But, just look at the ingredients. Grilled chicken and butter lettuce? Healthy. Mixed veggie filling with diced avocados on the side? Healthy. Briannas Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing drizzled over everything? Healthy.
Pretty clear consensus here — These Asiago Chicken Lettuce Wraps are easy, healthy and delicious!
Cheers!
